SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires 
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation,

maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden 
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information 
to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information.

Proposed Project

    Active Monitoring of Travelers Coming from Ebola-affected Countries 
and Their Contacts Currently Residing in State, Territorial, and Local 
Jurisdictions--New--Office of Emergency Preparedness and Response 
(OPHPR); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance for 3 years to allow 
the agency to effectively complement its ongoing international and 
travel-related efforts for rapid case identification, contact tracing, 
and infection control of Ebola virus disease (EVD) now within the 
United States.
    CDC is requesting an approval to receive daily and weekly active 
monitoring reports from any, or as many as, 62 state and local health 
departments (SLHDs) involved in active monitoring of EVD in their 
jurisdictions. This information collection is currently approved via an 
emergency review under OMB Approval number 0920-1066, which expires on 
11/30/2015. These 62 health departments are all awardees of CDC's 
Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement (CDC-
RFA-TP12-1201). This information collection is authorized under Section 
319C-1 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241), as amended by 
the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013 
(PAHPRA, Public Law 113-5).
    Travelers coming from Ebola-affected countries are screened by U.S. 
Quarantine Stations upon entry into the United States, and are 
classified into one of four risk categories according to the CDC's 
``Interim Guidance for Monitoring and Movement of Persons with 
Potential Ebola Virus Exposure.'' These risk categories are ``high 
risk'', ``some risk'', ``low (but not zero) risk'' and ``no 
identifiable risk.'' The travelers' risk classification information is 
transmitted by the U.S. Quarantine Stations to the state, territorial, 
or local jurisdictions which the travelers declare as their final 
destination. At this point, the state and local health departments 
(SLHDs) begin active monitoring of these travelers and their contacts 
for the development of EVD for 21 days.
    For those persons who are identified during entry screening as 
being at ``high risk'', ``some risk,'' or who are returning healthcare 
workers at ``low, but not zero, risk,'' SLHDs are responsible for 
ensuring that a public health authority (or delegate for healthcare 
workers) conducts direct active monitoring (DAM) by directly observing 
each person at least once daily to review the presence of symptoms 
consistent with EVD; and discussing plans to work, travel, take public 
conveyances, or be present in congregate locations.
    For non-healthcare workers assessed as being at ``low, but not 
zero, risk'', SLHDs are responsible for conducting active monitoring 
(AM) by receiving daily reports of temperature monitoring and symptoms 
from these persons.
    The CDC will provide the reporting forms which will require a 
minimum number of data fields to be updated daily or weekly until 
active monitoring is no longer necessary. The respondents are reporting 
this information as part of their official duties as CDC cooperative 
agreement awardees. There are no costs to respondents other that their 
time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 2,359.
